Vintage Sachin :notworthy: :notworthy: The fun was little less as the bowling was not that great. But the sixes were :shock: :shock: Two were slog sweeps and three were hit dancing down the track (paarthu evvalavu naalachu) 8-)Quote:

Sachin Tendulkar, 117* (120 balls) v Australia
First final, CB Series
Scorecard
In 38 previous ODI innings in Australia, Tendulkar had never scored a hundred. He made up with a memorable 117 to help India beat Australia in the first final of the CB Series. In the first 10 overs he only found the boundary once, though he exhibited precise footwork and correct judgment of length. After the early threat of Brett Lee had been negated, Tendulkar turned his attention to the others: Brad Hogg was driven over extra cover for two glorious fours, and Mitchell Johnson was perfectly tipped over slip. All along, Tendulkar pierced the infield, took the singles, and ensured the asking-rate never got beyond control. He cramped towards the end of the innings, which restricted some strokes, but he eventually got to his century with a dab to gully - the celebrations that ensued indicated how special it was.
Sachin Tendulkar, 91 (121 balls) v Australia
Second final, CB Series
Scorecard
Twenty-three years after India's last significant limited-overs title in Australia, Tendulkar helped them clinch the CB Series with a determined 91. In nearly three hours of nimble-footed driving, mainly to the off side, interspersed with soft on-side strokes, he treated an appreciative crowd to some fine work. He had a life on 7, when Ricky Ponting dropped a hard reflex catch at short cover, and he made it count. His fifty came up on his 70th delivery, and he went on to ensure India reached 258, which eventually proved a match-winning total.
Sachin Tendulkar, 103* v England
Second innings, Chennai
Scorecard
Even after Sehwag's blitz, India were a long way away from the 387 they needed to win in the first Test against England. Enter Tendulkar, who orchestrated the chase with a century of such serenity that he made the pressure-cooker environment seem like an afternoon in the park. On a deteriorating pitch, he remained entrenched, and massively focused, after he overcame a testing start against Andrew Flintoff. Tendulkar was more than happy to pick the runs off with a nudge here, a deflection there, and the odd paddle-sweep for variety. One of those paddle-sweeps brought up his century as well as a famous win. It was one of his finest innings, and filled a glaring gap in his CV - a match-winning fourth-innings knock.

He slammed three fours in his 15 before getting out to a terrific catch. All the three fours were trademark Sachin :notworthy: IIRC, one flick through midwicket and two fours piercing offside field. Given his form in that WC, not a suprrise at all.Quote:

Tendulkar presence inspire others to deliever, feels Amre
Sachin Tendulkar need not wield his bat, his sheer presence in the dressing room inspires others to give their best, says Mumbai Ranji team coach Praveen Amre.
With no international commitments for Team India till March, Tendulkar decided to play for Mumbai, who on course of win in the Ranji semi-final against Saurashtra, and scored a 122 in the first innings despite fever owing to which he returned to pavilion retired hurt.
"To have Sachin Tendulkar in the team was itself a morale booster for the team and his century in the first innings was a bonus," Amre told PTI over phone from Chennai.
"He is a role model for budding players like Ajinkya Rahane and Dhawal Kulkarni. For them it was dream come true to play with him in such a crucial match. They are the future of Indian cricket and this was a learning experience for them," he added.
Amre also feels Tendulkar made his job rather easier.
"Naturally, it is always easy for any coach to have Sachin in the team. He shared his vast knowledge of the game with the players and so the atmosphere in dressing room was always electrifying."
Amre said players went to Tendulkar with their problems and the batting maestro, who is the top run-getter in international cricket, was always willing to help.
"None can explain like him. He is the master of the game and has a lot to offer," said Amre.
Incidently, Amre played cricket with Tendulkar in Mumbai's Shardashram. After playing some international matches he switched to coaching.
Asked about his experience as a coach with Tendulkar, Amre said nobody could teach him how to play.
"No coach in the world except Achrekar sir (Ramakant Achrekar) can teach Sachin anything. Forget me," he said.
He said this was a crucial match for Mumbai cricket because the team could not qualify for the final last year and faced a lot of criticism.
"This is one of the reasons that Sachin decided to play in the semifinal. Mumbai cricket is very close to his heart."
Asked whether Tendulkar would play if Mumbai qualifies, Amre said, "Of course we want him to play in the final. We want Mumbai to regain the Trophy and Sachin to be a part of that winning moment," said Amre.

Cricketing Colossus
Sachin Tendulkar
Senior member, Team India
Stands heads and shoulders above the rest in India’s cricket firmament
After almost two decades of representing India, the little master strides tall in the world of the willow. In recent years, the 35-year-old’s body has, inevitably, shown signs of wear and tear, which has led carping critics to hurl brickbats whenever his form has wavered.
But Tendulkar has weathered all criticism with a mature silence, letting his heavy bat — and, sometimes the ball — do all the talking. Early this year, he was awarded the Padma Vibhushan, and towards the end, the living legend of the game, with umpteen records in his kitty already, hit all his critics for a six by surpassing Brian Lara’s record of most runs in Tests.
